There’s a stretch of I-70 in Utah which runs through a landscape nearly bleached of color. Then, once in the town of Green River, there is a former gas station repainted in bright yellow and orange hues with a truck reading MEXICAN FOOD and a sign reading TACOS.
The Texas BBQ landscape changes more often than you might think. Franklin Barbecue, which in 2010 was two trailers and some chairs in a former gas station parking lot, didn’t even exist two years prior.
